Introductie
This three-day training provides participants with the knowledge and skills to develop distributed applications using WCF 4 (Windows Communication Foundation) and Microsoft Visual Studio 2010.
Doelgroep
This course is intended for professional .NET programmers who use Microsoft Visual Studio in a team-based, medium-sized to large development environment. Students should have experience consuming services within their Web and/or Windows client applications and be interested in learning to develop service-oriented applications (SOA) using WCF. Students should be experienced users of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 SP1, as well as cursory familiarity with Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 for Windows client or Web application development.
Voorkennis
Before attending this course, students must have:
- Understanding of the problem-solving techniques that apply to software development.
- General understanding of the purpose, function, and features of the .NET Framework.
- Experience developing software using Visual Studio 2008 or Visual Studio 2010.
- Experience in object-oriented design and development using the C# programming language.
- Experience in n-tier application design and development.

- Transport and Message Security
- Authentication and Authorization
- Claim-Based Identity
Module 8: Advanced Topics
This module explains how to improve service throughput and responsiveness using the asynchronous invocation pattern, and how to extend WCF services using inspectors, behaviors, and host extensions. It also describes how to use the WCF routing service for improving service reliability, and how to use Workflow Services to orchestrate long-running, durable service work.
Lessons
- The Asynchronous Invocation Pattern
- Extending WCF
- Routing
- Workflow Services
